Rangers: Danny Rohl doomed for Red Bull Salzburg failure amid sack reveal

Danny Rohl could leave Rangers to join Red Bull Salzburg in the coming weeks, but he should be cautious.

The 37-year-old has proven divisive in his time in charge at Ibrox, but Andrew Cavenagh feels he is the man to take the Gers forward.

The Wals-Siezenheim-based outfit have made contact with the Light Blues over poaching the former Sheffield Wednesday boss.

It is understood that their push is being led by Jurgen Klopp, and his history with the Red Bull group could make it tempting.

He previously worked as a coach at RB Leipzig, starting in 2010 as a youth analyst before working his way up to be Ralph Hassenhuttl and Ralf Rangnick's assistant manager.

However, the Austrian club's recent managerial history should leave him with second thoughts over making the move.

Why Danny Rohl should be cautious with Rangers exit links

Rohl should be cautious over taking the post at Salzburg, as their recent history suggests that managers are not given time.

The club has a history of winning, but they have not tasted success since the 2022-23 season, and that has impacted several bosses.

Gerhard Struber lasted 259 days after his appointment in July 2023, sacked after a loss to Sturm Graz put title hopes in doubt.

Onur Cinel was made caretaker manager in April 2024 and he left his post in June 2024, after just six games and 76 days in charge.

Klopp's former assistant Pepjin Lijnders was appointed in May 2024, but he lasted just 168 days.

Thomas Letsch was in the role for 412 days, but he was dismissed in March 2026, despite the club sitting top of the league.

Daniel Beichler was handed the job in February 2026, but he was sacked in June 2026, after 132 days in the dugout.

No manager has lasted more than a year and two months since 2023 - that is a dangerous pattern that Rohl should take into account, with the German seemingly doomed to failure if he does jump ship.

Why Rohl should consider Rangers stay

Staying put may well be the best option for the Gers boss, as he is set to be backed by the board in Govan.

They will hand him the finances to invest in the squad and build it the way that he wants, and they are also lenient when it comes to sack calls.

The way that the Bears fell away from the title race at the end of last season could have seen the German dismissed, but the kept faith with him.

He may not get the same fortune with Die Roten Bullen.
